The Faculty Research Forum supports Princeton researchers from all disciplines, in launching, sustaining, and growing their research efforts. Programs for early career faculty include a series that introduces broad topics relevant to launching an independent career, with an emphasis on building faculty-administrator relationships and developing an interdisciplinary peer network on campus. Other programs include sessions on specific funding mechanisms (such as the NSF CAREER award or NEH digital humanities funding opportunities), or cross-cutting topics such as research impact, outreach, and diversity, equity, and inclusion in research. Some sessions may be tailored to research in specific disciplines, whereas others others will be hosted as shared conversations across all disciplines. Our offerings include a mix of panels, workshops, information sessions, and presentations for departments or teams.
The Faculty Research Forum program is sponsored by the Office of the Dean for Research with participation from campus units that provide services, advice and support for faculty in their scholarly activities. Researchers who have ideas for programs or sessions, or who have questions about current offerings, are invited to contact any of the following sponsors within the Office of the Dean for Research:
Karla Ewalt, Senior Associate Dean for Research
Coleen Burrus, Director of Corporate Engagement and Foundation Relations
Elizabeth Adams, Director of the Office of Research and Project Administration
